    Carnivores?

    I researched it a lot. You need vit c and fiber when you are on the standard American diet. So many people eat so much processed garbage it is hard on the system. But meat is highly bio-available. I have no issues with not having any fiber. And yes, it took a while to get my gut microbes...
